St Mary’s is delighted with the matric results which the learners on our Saturday school, Ikusasa Lethu, achieved. This class of 2020, comprising 107 learners, has a pass rate of 91.6% (the national pass rate being 76.2%) and 32 distinctions were achieved.

Sixty-two learners received Bachelor Degree Passes, a further 21, Diploma Passes and 15 obtained matric leavers certificates.

Top learner, Thato Katane obtained six distinctions and has been accepted to study Medicine at UCT. Thato achieved a staggering 92% for Physical Sciences, 88% for Life Orientation, 87% for both Mathematics and Geography, 86% for Life Sciences, 81% for Setswana and 76 % for English.

To date, two learners have been accepted to study further at Wits and six learners will be studying at the University of Johannesburg.

We are extremely proud of all of our learners on the programme and, in particular, the Ikusasa Lethu matric results for 2020. Last year, our learners faced innumerable challenges and worked extremely hard to attain their results.
